you could have picked a much better example, given that the show frames him as very much 'in his place' as a neutered loser. like, as if that's the reason he's likeable..

Here what I came up with by limiting myself to new IPs that came up in the last 5 years. So this doesn't count superheros, animals, reboots.

Steven Universe - Titular character who does nothing but care for other people and life as a whole. While he can be an idiot cause hes a kid,

Gravity Falls - Intelligent and determined young man unravels mysteries with his sister and enjoys research and accumulating knowledge. Winds up exposing monsters, a cult, among other hidden horrors.

Adventure Time - Righteous Young kid looking to defend others with his older pal and responsible father and husband

Generator Rex - Stouthearted teenager looking to aid an ailing and dilapidated world, while simultaneously challenging a corrupt authority.

If you count Superheros and old IPs, that number dramatically increases

>>79117773
>Fat
>Unshaven
>Slovenly dressed
>Mullet

That's not a positive role model at all.

>>79118920
>first human to ever impregnate a nigh-immortal alien with a hybrid savior-child

What left is there to accomplish at that point? You're already basically the single most important human to ever live. I'd let myself go too.

Y'know, generally the "WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN" people really irritate me, and the censoring of children's media if often really inane and ridiculous, but sometimes TCW genuinely concerns me.

I mean, yeah, there's all the really graphic violence and death, but I'm confident that kids can handle that. But what really concerns me is Anakin as a protagonist. Cause like, it makes sense to us, as people familiar with the movies and Anakin's stories, but there are a ton of kids out there who's primary or even ONLY exposure to Star Wars is TCW, and to them, Anakin is just the good guy, with no idea that he's supposed to be slowly descending to evil and not a role model. To them Anakin is just the hero and someone to look up to and emulate. I think he could genuinely be a really bad influence on kids watching the show.

Wow. You just made that up.

>>79118421
He only looks like a loser in his first episode because the Crystal Gems think he is and he lives out of his van. But he's really a great dad who has a successful business and supports his son financially and emotionally.

if he wasnt your dad you had a ruined childhood.

>>79119670
To be fair, his worst moments are things that either make his friends uncomfortable or they're things that he goes out of his way to keep secret. Season 1 Anakin is pretty straight "bold space hero" but beginning in season 2 the show makes it clear that Anakin has genuine anger problems and that a lot of what he does isn't meant to be admirable. Whole episodes are devoted to the idea that he goes too far.

Hell, they even had an arc exploring the fact that Anakin and Padme's relationship is unsustainable because of his controlling, obsessive personality.

>>79120063
>To be fair, his worst moments are things that either make his friends uncomfortable
Are we watching the same show? Ahsoka almost always goes along with Anakin's extreme methods, and otherwise the worse he gets is a mild eye roll and slap on the wrist from Obi-Wan. Outside of that they only really express concern for his general well being from the anger, not how extreme he is.

>Hell, they even had an arc exploring the fact that Anakin and Padme's relationship is unsustainable because of his controlling, obsessive personality.
The point of the arc was more the inherent distrust between them created by the secrecy of everything, not necessarily Anakin's obsessiveness and need to control everything, though that certainly played a part in it.

The only thing that he does right is support his son and the only way he does that is by practically doing nothing to raise the kid since he's a magical girl and passing the buck to the crystal gems.

>>79117773
I honestly think one of the SU staff is a devin townsend fan.

>>79120959
He did all the raising from birth until about 8 or so. And he's still around and helps out with what the CG can't. Which is anything human related along with the best understanding of what Rose was like.

Clearly intelligent and academic. Caring, well spoken, funny and sentimental.

Survived through the apocalypse using his wits and gave up his own sanity so that a little girl who wasn't even his daughter could have a future in an uncertain world.

What he became only stands to remind us of all the great things he was.

>>79117773
He starts off as a bad guy, but it's his transformation into a hero that makes him a great role model.

He struggles with his darker nature but so does everyone, that itself is a good lesson. He's not a goody-two-shoes who could not be evil even if he tried. He shows kids the difference between right and wrong by discovering it for himself.

Zuko's arc is one of learning humility, understanding others, and the value of peace. Even with everything except his Uncle going against him, Zuko saw through the lies of his nation and helped bring balance back to the world.

I'm not sure if people are just deluding themselves because they don't want to admit to liking a fat character, or if America just has a seriously warped view of what fat is due to everyone being fat. You can be fat without being a landwhale with a waist wider than your tits and hips. Proportionally, Rose is fat. She has big tits and hips but also a wide waist and fat face and arms.
